For the past year, I've had 2 snakes, Lightning and Plissken. The whole year, things went peaceful. They got along great. Lightning wasn't used to sharing food ever, so I put him in a separate container for feeding time. Tonight, once I put him back in, he moved around for a little bit, then attack Plissken in the tail. He wouldn't let go for 10 seconds. It was very stressful to watch. I stood there wondering what I should do, and then about a minute later, he did it again. I tapped him on the side to make him let go, then grabbed Plissken and lifted him into Lightning's feeding container, where he is now.

I don't know why Lightning had an urge to do something like this. This is definitely a first. There have been 5 snakes in the tank at one point, and he never did anything like this. Does anyone know why he would do this? The feeding wasn't very big. I only gave them 3 minnows each as that was all I had. Lightning shed about 3 weeks ago, so he can see just fine. Plissken appears to be okay, just shaken up. I have water in there, so there's no limit on his time in there.
